King Floyd's Grapefruit Rosemary Bitters
King Floyd's Grapefruit Rosemary Bitters are handcrafted cocktail bitters from King Floyd's Bar Provisions in Novato, California — the Marin County maker founded in 2017 by Lawrence Floyd Batterton, who spent two decades in the herbal extract business before turning that craft to bitters. Grapefruit Rosemary is built on just two organic botanicals: Ruby Red grapefruit and rosemary that King Floyd's grows and harvests onsite. Each botanical is extracted separately by maceration or percolation in corn-based neutral grain spirit, stirred and tasted daily for up to two months, then blended and proofed down with filtered water. Bottled at 50% ABV in a 100mL bottle, the profile is biting citrus and earthy, resinous bitterness — the sharp edge of grapefruit peel set against piney rosemary aromatics. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

An Herbalist's Bitters, Built Botanical by Botanical
King Floyd's builds each bitters the way an herbalist would: herbs and spices are ground by hand, every botanical is extracted on its own and tasted daily, and nothing is blended until each extract has reached full depth. Grapefruit Rosemary is the line's brightest expression — two ingredients, handled with that same patience. It pairs naturally with herbaceous spirits: try it across our tequila shelves in a Paloma, or with the bottles in our gin collection in a Gin and Tonic.
Tasting Notes
Biting, fresh grapefruit peel and juicy Ruby Red citrus first, then the piney, resinous savor of fresh rosemary — acerbic, earthy and dry, a seasoning for drinks rather than a sweetener.
How to Enjoy
A few dashes lift a Paloma or a Gin and Tonic, add a savory herbal edge to a Margarita or a mezcal Negroni, and make a simple sparkling water far more interesting. More bar essentials live across our spirits collection.
